Major Christopher began his 35-year career in Law Enforcement when he joined the Greenville Police Department in 1964, after serving in the United States Marine Corps as a Platoon Sergeant. He ended his career in 2004, retiring at the rank of Major and second in command of the SC Law Enforcement Division .

“Chris,” as he was dubbed by his fellow officers, served briefly on his first GPD assignment as an undercover officer before working on foot patrol in downtown Greenville. He was promoted to Detective by 1970, and served as the commander for the first Tactical Unit for Special Operations, which became the first GPD Vice Squad. His work ethic and tenacity in solving major crimes set him apart and earned him numerous honors and awards. He was a graduate of the FBI National Academy and chaired many boards and community organizations throughout his career. Through his dedicated service, he promoted positive communications between Law Enforcement and the Greenville community. At the GPD, he achieved the rank of Captain. He also served as Uniform Patrol Commander and Internal Affairs Commander prior to leaving the department to pursue a private business venture. He returned to Law Enforcement with SLED and resumed his devotion to a long and successful career in that field. Among his many honors and awards are Greenville County Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, the Greenville Jaycees’ Distinguished Service Award, and the Billy Wilkins Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement. While with SLED, he received the Strom Thurmond Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement, and upon his retirement from SLED, he was awarded the prestigious Order of the Palmetto for his exemplary service to our state.
